The most important meal of the day

Oct 02, 2008 21:15

I ate breakfast twice today. I often do this, even though by definition eating breakfast (literally ‘breaking the fast’) twice in one day is impossible, assuming the ‘fast’ to be a night’s rest. I do it because I like breakfast food the best out of all meal-specific foods. Sandwiches are fine but they’re no eggs and bacon ( Read more... )

Mathematicians find it necessary. Linguists like myself often call it "excessive knowledge". Join the club.
By the way, could you please summarize frisbee rules to me? Or are there any?

I'm guessing you mean Ultimate Frisbee, the frisbee game you can play with teams and was popular at the Academy? Here's a link to a summary of the rules: http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/ferguson/ultimate/ultimate-simple.html

Further summarized: you've got two teams, and you have to throw the frisbee to your teammates. If you have the frisbee in your hand, you can't move from your spot (the only way to advance the frisbee is to throw it). If you throw to a teammate and they don't catch it (it falls to the ground or is intercepted), the other team gains possession. Your team scores a point if you catch the frisbee in your endzone/goal area.

There are definitely official leagues and contests, but I only ever played for fun. You'd just have to search around the area to find if there's something like that around.

Its not all that popular here, weather's not really permitting it. I'm sure we've got a team at the university (because we've even got a baseball team, which is, I believe, one of three or even two in Russia), but I wasn't really intending to play it. It's just my friend saw a disc in a store and asked me whatever that was, and I replied that it was a frisbee disc, but when she asked how one played it, I didn't know what to say)) But now I do
